Form Definitions

The form manager allows users to create forms to capture data in a controlled yet customisable manner. It does this by providing:

• Unlimited data field count.

• User defined data types including:

  • Text fields
  • Number fields
  • Date fields

• List fields that give end-users a range of options to choose from for the answer.

• The ability to mark fields as required.

• Form sections to improve readability.

It should be noted that there are several functions within the system that support custom form definitions. These include, but are not limited to:

• Custom attribute forms for assets and components,

• Task Type forms, and

• Mobile Data Capture custom forms.

As such, the steps involved in initiating a new form definition can differ from case to case. However, once the form has been established, the construction and manipulation of the form’s attributes and layout is identical between cases.
